you are without a doubt, the biggest idiot on this site. stop referring to yourself in the 3rd person. and what makes you think your opinions/criteria are more important than that of others? i really cannot stand you

Did I say that?

You dont like 3rd person? What the hell is wrong with you? Aren't you the Mavs fan that everyone hates? Youe are one of those guys that got banned ages ago no doubt, like Nowitzkifan4lyfe or something. Keep it basketball related buck-o.

The anti-Camby crowd.... picture the Nuggets without Camby.... what is their defense like now?

The pro-Okafor crowd.... dude get's punked by opposing post players, his defense is way way way overrated. Jefferson, Stoudemire and Howard both abuse him.

Duncan is the guy here, or Battier, he has inspired the whole Rockets team into attempting defense. Van Gundy must be in love with Shane.

And O'Neal's Pacers are still a playoff team, without his defense they would be nowhere, crap offensive team, no other good defenders, well Tinsley is ok, but bleh, O'Neal has carried that piece of crap called a team.

Non playoff teams should not have a DPOY. Name me the last winner that didn't make the playoffs.

But he's still a superb defender. He Ranks #1 in the NBA in Steals Per Game(2.19). He Ranks #3 in the NBA in Steals Per 48 Minutes(2.81).

To see the real beauty of those numbers, one must realize that he plays on a team where there are NO other defenders so he lacks the opportunity to catch pressured passes after a teammate pressures his man into throwing a bad pass. And he has to shotblocker backing him up; he has freaking Brad Miller behind him!

Brad Miller isn't as bad a defender as people say. I like his man to man post D, he just lacks at helpside.

SAR is a bad defender and Thomas. What a terrible power forward combo.

Artest is not a DPOY candidate IMO.

If Duncan and Battier both miss the award, I'll discredit the merits of the award.
